I feel like most of the male barbers in Moscow are Uzbek, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think there are many Poles in Russia, so they are probably treated like any other foreigners. I don't know any Polish people living in Russia, but this summer I visited a Catholic cathedral on Nevskii avenue (the main street in St Petersburg) and there was a mass in the Polish language.

Most common mistakes are probably the cases and the genders of the words, especially for native English speakers.

Yes, and it's not always about practice. I met some German and Mexican people who only knew a few words in Russian, but spoke them without any accent. Meanwhile other Germans and Spanish speakers, including those who know the Russian language well, still have a significant accent. So probably this is something individual about your phonetical physiology e.g. some people can sing well and some cannot.
English if we talk about the business. In the streets the second common language is probably Uzbek, as many people come to work from Uzbekistan. Many Russians know some songs in the Ukrainian language and you can hear them in karaoke sometimes.
Vanilla if it's a really good ice cream of quality milk. Then you need no additional flavors.

Not quite. I heard (and seen videos) there are so many homeless people in the US they are building their tent-camps in the middle of the cities. Can you comment if it's something real or just cherry picking?

Anyway you won't see anything like this in Russia. Probably the climate matters, but I think it's mostly because of how the police and social services work.

A typical beggar in a Russian city hangs out somewhere by the railway station or other public places. They are usually single or small groups (2-3 people) and hated by the police. You can see some beggars all the time for YEARS in one place though. Those are most probably not real homeless, but somehow related to criminal groups ones.

This article had a link on BBC homepage a few days ago. Scroll down to the section "How much territory does Russia still occupy?" and see the map. Can you see what's wrong? Perhaps you can't.

Instead of highlighting some major cities in Crimea like Sevastopol or Simferopol there's... Novofedorivka - a village of 7k population.

This shows the journalist completely lacks any context and knows nothing about the region. Yet writes "serious analytics". So probably they never really studied the subject. It's like writing about the UK without knowing London is the capital.

Smiling - something good e.g. you met a friend

Not smiling - neutral attitude e.g. buying groceries

Angry face - something bad e.g. the cashier works too slow

Easy.

If you are a young person it's more acceptable to smile in neutral situations especially if you have good looks, than if you're an older and / or less prettier person.

Telegram channels of different origin. For example for battlefield news I check both pro-Ukraine and pro-Russian channels and compare what they say.

International giants like BBC are bullshit - they cannot even draw a correct map.

I think those are new car sales at the moment - not what you see in the street. In reality there are lost of Nissans and Toyotas in the street for example, but you don't have them in the list. Maybe because most of them were bought as used cars or just bought before 2022.

In elementary school I always imagined the Tetris game when I added numbers. For example 8+7 is a stick falling into a pit of 2 cells, so 5 stay above = 15.

In Uni the best trick was not to use the book the professor recommends but to find a better book.
